Some Fine Races for 81 800 Purses
Being Worked Up.

LEWISTON, June 1.-THE Androscoggin
County Horse Breeders and Gentlemen's
Driving Association, have .held meeting,
and by two,thirds vote of the Association.
the directors have been empowered to offer
such an amount in purses for their first July
meeting as they shall agree upon. 1t is ru-
mored that $780, at least, will be offered.
The directors will hold special meeting
thfs week, probably to decide the matter of
prizes, and arrange the schedule Of races.
There is no doubt but the July horse trot
will be one Of the best in the
Maine circuit this year. Many of
Names fast ones are training for the Maine
road and have been for some time. Among
the features of the three days meet, there is
to be free-fOr-all race, and it is said several
Massachusetts horses are coming with the
idea of carrying off the purses. If Massa-
chusetts horse flesh wins this race, it has
got to be pretty fast horse fiesh Several
green horses in the vicinity of Lewiston are
talked about by horsemen who are on the
inside, as likely to astonish the boys little
when it comes to race.

The Pope In His Palace.

The Vatican is the most ceremonious court
in Europe. The stately etiquette of the fif-
teenth century still prevails in the palace Of
the Pope. The Swiss guard still wear the
picturesque uniform designed by Raphael
and the Grand Chamberlain Of the Vatican
guards the person of the Supreme Pontif as
jealously as did his predecessors in the days
of the Borgias. This is not done from fear
of assassination, for, during the eighteen
centuries Of the Papacy. no Pope has ever
been assassinated.
Leo XIII, although now approaching his
four score years, labors with greater indus
try than any secular sovereign in Europe.
Like Napoleon, he spends little time in
sleep, rising at six in winter and an hour
earlier in summer. He spends an hour in
meditation, in preparation for Mass, which
he says at 7.30 every morning. AT midday he

A notable phase Of railway industry is a
railway nursery, situated near the little town
of darlington, Kansas, in the southern part
of that State. 1t is said to be the largest art
ifcial plantation of forest trees in North
America, and is owned by the Southern Pa
cifc. The different sections have been
planted, respectively, two. four and six
years, one-fourth being planted with the
ailanthus, the rest with the catalpa, together
with few Of white ash. Those first planted
are now about twenty live feet in height, the
last about twelve, and some of the taller are
seven inches through the stem. There are
in all about three million trees, in full vigor,
on the plantation; all were planted four feet
apart each way, to shade the grounds,
though eight feet is the ultimate intention,

Boston, June 1.-THE centennial regatta
of the Dorchester Yacht Club was sailed off
Nahant today, 40 yachts participating. The
day was perfect, fine southeast breeze was
blowing, and there was very little sea on.

was in the contest between the Papoose,
Shadow and Shona. owing to their radically
different types. The Shadow is broad
beamed centre-board; the Shona is the most
extreme of narrow and deep English cutters,
and the Pappoose is q moderate beam and
moderate draft cutter. The Shadow has won
many victories in American waters, and the
Shona many abroad The Pappoose is an
entirely new craft, built this season from de-
signs by Edward Burgess She is a keller,

brunswick Telegraph

The mule spinners in the Cabot Company's
cotton mill have been on several strikes this
week, on account Of some disaffection with
their overseer, Mr.. 5. Connor, and 1t Is
stated that some rough work has taken
place. The mule spinners are the same class
of hands that made trouble in the mill some
months ago, and it is felt by some outside
parties that these movements are prepara-
tory to more important troubles to occur
about the 1st Of July, when the new law Will

come not to whisper, but to thunder ter

Our minds are made up. If the moment
should come when the Ottawa government

we propose to build with cur own money to

behooves us to asSail the ears of Ottawa
